After allocating an omnium of holiday goodies, Obama addressed the awestruck audience before exchanging hugs and kisses. “I’ve had a chance to talk to some of the wonderful kids and their families, at a time that’s obviously tough for folks,” Obama said.

“As the dad of two girls, I can only imagine in that situation, you know, to have nurses, staff and doctors… caring for them… holding their hand… and looking after them, and listening to them. What a great reminder of what the holiday spirit is supposed to be about.”

Nowadays it always feels like we have been missing something in our lives. The world’s greatest and caring president and all around awesome human being. Barack Obama. I’ve always liked him and I’ve always supported him in everything he did. No matter what. Yes, we can!﻿
